M5lp 1008 04 O 1988 Ford Mustang Lx Rust Issues

Overall, the hatch was just too far gone. Also, some of the oxidation had infected the rear edge of the roof panel, not visible here. What is visible here is that the car's paint was in a deplorable state, and the hatch area (at least) had been previously resprayed, no doubt in a vain attempt to hide the rust.
